Grains futures bucked a tidal wave of red ink in financial markets Thursday but couldn’t withstand more pressure overnight. A little selling around 4 a.m. CST took futures below session lows, triggering a cascading move that took soybeans to double digit losses, with corn and wheat following along to the downside. China slapped retaliatory tariffs on U.S. imports, including wine and pork, with a long list of other products that could be affected. Stocks sold off around the world today and U.S. futures point to a lower open on Wall Street too.
